Lara Wehbe

Ms. Lara Wehbe is an Affiliate in the School of Psychology & Neuroscience at the University of Glasgow. Her research focuses on understanding behavioral changes related to sustainable diets, self-control mechanisms, and the psychological underpinnings of dietary choices. She explores how societal stereotypes, meta-stereotypes, and language influence consumer behavior, particularly regarding plant-based foods and reducing meat/dairy consumption.

Her work integrates principles from environmental psychology, behavioral science, and social psychology to address challenges in transitioning to sustainable lifestyles. Key themes include motivational processes, identity formation among dietary groups, and strategies to enhance behavior maintenance through small changes.

Lara has published extensively on topics such as water drinking habits, group work dynamics in educational settings, and the role of self-control in sustaining dietary modifications. Her contributions bridge theoretical frameworks with practical applications aimed at fostering environmental and health-conscious behaviors.
